The table below summarises the total amounts received by each party, split by pre-poll donation week. The 2019 comparisons are limited to week one to three to be directly comparable.
The table below summarises totals for week one to three, split by 2019 and 2024. Interestingly, Labour received a higher total donation amount in week 2 of the 2019 campaign, however when looking at donor type, it can be seem this was massively boosted by Trade Union donations - individual and company donations remained low for Labour during week 2 of the 2019 campaign.

Below sums up the totals for week one to three received in 2019 and 2024 by the key parties. This is to get a better sense of total amounts compared to 2019 - it is interesting that there was still more money going into the Conservatives relative to how much Labour are getting now.
This may be related to the increase in reporting threshold; in 2019 any donation over £7,500 needed to be reported, the Elections Act of 2022 raised this threshold to £11,180. Rather than less money being accepted, it may be less is required to be reported. This is speculation.
